And I don't like how sparse the data points are but they went with a wobbly interpolated curve anyway.

It exists, kind of. Python has this construct

for item in iterable:
    ...
else:
     ...

which always puzzles me, since it depends on a break statement execution. I always have to look it up when the else block is executed.

Well, what do you think Ph.D. stands for? Philosophiae Doctor.

He was from the future. Look, he's reading from a book made of flexible glowing paper and not flat tablets like we primitive people do.

The market is rigged. Fossil fuel subsidies and incentives need to stop if this has to change.

Accessible for everyone.

If the desktop UX has very good screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice to text etc., I believe its benefits would automatically spill over to all.

Also it would retain the UI / UX experts who become forced to abandon Linux for macOS which maintains a niche in this.

TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove

It is a discreet thing if you consider pure materials. Phase transitions are sharp for all materials.

Non-newtonian fluids are usually a mixture of fine solid particles and liquid creating funky physics. Stress and shear rate are not linear as Newton's law dictates. They can be shear thickening like corn starch in water or shear thining like blood. Shear thinning fluids are considered pseudo plastics, which is also a property in some solids.

To me personally, the field is fun because it gives me a perspective on all the processes which drives the weather and climate. I like watching the skies and the seas.

Scientifically the most exciting areas right would be:

  • mixing efficiency: The ocean has a layered structure and it takes 1000s of years for the deep ocean to rise up. Many are trying to understand at what limits the turbulence in ocean currents drives the cold saline deep ocean to starts mixing with warmer fresher waters on the top more effectively. An important question in our changing climate.
  • convection: a classic problem where the heated walls drive convective motion. People are still trying to understand different parameters and how it affects the kind of convection we get. Convection is everywhere: ocean currents transporting heat between the latitudes and, atmosphere which determine where the deserts and rainforests are etc.

Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:

  • computation fluid mechanics
  • scientific programming and HPC
  • nonlinear shallow water equations
  • statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
  • experimental methods: PIV
  • stratified turbulence
  • academia
  • navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.

Ask away!
